QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2012 -> 02:03 AM) 3, Baltimore at home, at Oak, at DET It really doesn't matter really, we don't have a chance to be competitive anyway without Sale in the starting rotation. sad. but accurate

Bill Melton just said what Hawk won't say. You can't throw fastball after fastball after fastball to the best fastball hitting team in the AL. I thought Thornton used to have a slider.

That's at least three games the bullpen has blown in the last inning. Might be four. quit counting.

I was in favor of leaving thornton in. get well quick Chris Sale.

Alex Avila == Joe Randa vs Sox.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2012 -> 02:51 AM) Said it was a base hit instead of saying it was an easy grounder real easy grounder

not waiting to second guess. hope he sticks with thornton

if we have learned one thing about Robin Ventura in the first month, it's this: He ain't obsessed with pitch counts.

Sale closing? Kidding. Let Thornton finish. Santiago has seen his last ninth inning for awhile.

most impressive game of the year by Simon Castro -- 1 hit, 1 walk, 4 Ks, no runs, through 5.

Interesting developments again today. Two more hits by Jordan Danks, one by Josh Phegley. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...chraaa_lhvaaa_1 Saladino returns to SS; Castro retires the first six. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...jaxaax_biraax_1 Arroyo rocked at WS http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...salafa_wswafa_1 five solid innings by Parrent. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...augafx_kanafx_1

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2012 -> 12:43 AM) Gordon's hitting over .500 this month And over .999 today.

Or even a Cal Eldred.

Hawk just said he was 100 percent behind the move. If you looked closely you could see The Chairman pulling the strings.

Sox attendance this season is a vote of no-confidence in this team -- and management -- as well as a carryover of disgust for the way last season played out. Fans aren't warm and fuzzy toward Rios or Dunn. Not excited about the future. If this team falls out of contention by mid-June, it's really going to get ugly. The Chairman understands $$$$. That will be the tipping point to free us of Kenny Williams. fingers crossed.

Maybe Andre Rienzo can ride to the rescue. Only need to sit, like 41 more games.

The telecast just went out. I'm blaming Kenny Williams.

Maybe Sale can close and play left field? We need a left-handed bat with pop. Time to see if Axelrod, Stults, Shirek, Molina or Castro can contribute because if Sale is looking at a career in the bullpen and Peavy is gone after this season, there's going to be a gap in the rotation. I have to admit that I don't understand why you wouldn't hold Sale out for a longer period of time if his elbow is tender. Why take the risk? Didn't they learn anything pitching Peavy the last few years when he wasn't healthy. And, secondly, as bad as this news is, unless they find a couple more bats, only Steve Carlton and Greg Maddux could save this team.

Isn't this the best Jordan Danks has played? three hits, two doubles up to .286. still strikes out too much, but his 17 walks are fourth in the IL. with his glove and left-handed bat, hope?

Seems like all the minor league teams are winning more this season. Phegley just keeps hitting. only one hit today, but he's hit in at least his last 10 games according to milb.com.

notice McPherson didn't play in either game. Is he injured -- or on a plane to Chicago?

Moose did his best to get the Sox to the 1964 World series, Picked him up at trading deadline. He helped. But still fell one game short of Yanks. RIP Moose.

Reed. that's four bombs Santiago has given up in 6 1/3 innings. He's blown two two-run leads. time to spot him to build his confidence back. Reed has better stuff -- and better results. make the move Robin. and while you're at, sit Morel.

he did say Cellular Field during the live call. I was listening and couldn't believe it. is there link to the audio where it is changed?
